What are the main reasons a car won't start?
Here is your list to start with...
1.Battery and connections.
2.Getting spark to all cylinders 3.Plenty of fuel 4.Engine compression (each
of these 4 categories has a large list of contributing factors) Be organized
when you start troubleshooting. Focus on one problem area until it can be
fixed or eliminated. FINALIZE it before you go on to the next. At least
you won't be second-guessing yourself. good luck!! Mrkhh.
Answer
I
have always found the main reason any implement (boats, cars,
lawnmowers, etc. won't start is electrical connections. In use, electical wires
and battery terminals gather dust and corrosion and this interferes with the
electrical charge strength. The first thing to check is your battery terminal.
Always remove the cable, clean the terminal and cable connector. Coating the terminal
with grease or some sort of corrosion resistant application works well.
Be careful you don't ground your socket or wrench to the car body when you remove
the cable. Reinstall the connection and try to start it. Usually if you have
no starting sound at all, it is the connection. A dead battery will grind or click
slowly. Hope this helps.
